Highlight section, subsection and subsubsection in vertical navigation bar

Question

What is necessary to change in the code:

\usepackage{etoolbox}
\makeatletter
\patchcmd{\insertverticalnavigation}%
{\ifx\beamer@nav@css\beamer@hidetext{\usebeamertemplate{section in sidebar}}\else{\usebeamertemplate{section in sidebar shaded}}\fi}%
{{\usebeamertemplate{section in sidebar}}}{}{}
\makeatother

to highlight section, subsection and subsubsection in the same time in the vertical navigation bar of beamer templates?

Answer 1

Is this the behaviour you are looking for?
